The Financial Times

One of the world’s most respected news organizations was making its own headlines last year, when the company undertook a comprehensive data center re-location and optimization program. Delivered on time and on budget under the professional stewardship of Symantec Consulting Services, the program enabled the Financial Times to mitigate risk by moving the technology infrastructure to two new data centers. During the re-location, Symantec Consulting Services ensured that all systems remained available during the move, with no unplanned downtime. It also resulted in a 49 percent reduction in the server footprint from 484 to 287, while enabling the company to take advantages of new technologies, such as virtualization; and it introduced a component level disaster recovery plan to maintain brand presence and production critical services.
